A Wise Man Changes His Mind - Friend & Lover

(Bill Anderson/Sharon Vaughn) I've been fightin' with these sheets again Can't make myself lie still My pillowcase is soakin' wet And yet l feel a chill It takes all I can do these days To just survive the nights It gets crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind When a man can't shake a memory He runs hot and cold and blind He hates her, then he loves her Then he hates her one more time Your love has such a grip on me It chokes me like a vine Oh, it's crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind I've been phonin' you since eight o'clock It's almost four a.m. My mind keeps paintin' pictures Of you out lovin' him I just crushed a dixie cup For runnin' out of wine It gets crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind When a man can't shake a memory He runs hot and cold and blind He hates her, then he loves her Then he hates her one more time Your love has such a grip on me It chokes me like a vine Oh, it's crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind Yeah, it drives him crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind

A man is not his song A song is a promise If a man is just his song Then can the song be beyond us? How we make it up And it sends in deep elation Eventually it'll let you down By believing in standing ovation Song won't lift up if Made by revenge so oboe sweet I will will it To add up to more than you or me Cuz a man is not his song And I'm not a story But I wanna sing along If he's singing it for me That filament that flies by And it brings yellow light Of those yellow summers back By coconut palm and snowy pine I've heard years pass Through my ears to hear otherwise We all believe in old melodies I carry tunes around like they carry me A man is not his song Though we all wanna sing along We've all heard those old melodies Like they're singing right to me More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed

Could you show me what love is about? Could you show me what love is about? No clue, no key, just a scent of a doubt Could you tell me what it's all about?

Could you show me what life is about? What's true to believe have a scent of a doubt Could you tell me what it's all about? And if you haven't got the time If you don't want to spend the time, bare in mind That I heard you had discovered You read the record cover I'm a Lover Lover Lover
